Vera’s POVMy entire body went cold the moment I heard his voice,“Miss me?”My breath hitched, and I froze as I heard the voice of Cassian through the cell. The phone nearly slipped from my fingers as panic exploded through my chest.I forgot how to breathe, and my pulse began to spike as my heart pounded hard against my ribs. The memories of the few hours I spent with him began to rush back faster than ever before. From the warehouse, to the bindings around my wrist to the smile on his face when he told me the truth about Sylas.I froze beside the open car door while fear wrapped around my throat like a hand.My reaction must have been so extreme because Joe actually noticed. He tapped lightly on the break and turned to face me,“Ma’am?” he called initially, and when I did not answer, he called again, “Vera?”That finally got my attention. I looked up but even though he was right in front of me, I could not see him, I could barely even hear him.At the other end of the line, Cassian

Vera’s POVBy the time Joe drove my car into the parking lot of the company building, I had already calmed down from Cassian’s call.Well mostly, the sound of his voice still lingered in my mind. It was a stain I could not wash away no matter how much I tried. Just thinking his smug tone was enough to make my stomach twist in disgust.“We are here, ma,” Joe said with a smile on his face as he turned off the car, stepped out and opened the door for me.I stepped out slowly and adjusted the sleeve of my blouse just as Joe moved beside me almost instantly.Initially, his role had been just mainly as a driver, but now, I can tell that he was taking his job as my main bodyguard seriously. His sharp gaze swept across the surroundings like he expected danger to jump out of every corner.Even though I have had guards now for weeks, it still felt strange being catered to every moment of my life. And if the events of the past few days had not happened, I would have thought much of it, but now th

Naeris’ POVNaeris has had a lot of experience over the years. Hell, she had infiltrated far harder companies than this. She had infiltrated government offices, security firms and even law firms. Compared to those firms, slipping into a small company that was more widely known as just being one of GoldCorp’s subsidiaries under the guise of a loyal assistant should have been effortless, right?Technically, it was. Absolutely no one in the company cared enough to even question her credentials or to ask her why she was suddenly transferred here. It also helped that most people did not have the courage to question the woman who was the personal assistant of the C.E.O.But no matter the job she did, Naeris always ended up admiring just how trusting people could be. Now, days later, after her first day as Vera’s assistant, she was hitting her stride.During the morning meeting earlier, she had been right beside Vera, standing with her tablet in hand while she held Vera’s coffee cup expertly

I had no plans of having dinner outside, and I also did not have any plans of saying yes if I had been asked. And it wasn’t because I did not like Naeris. No, it was the opposite. Over the past couple of days, Naeris had slipped naturally into my routine and life. I am used to her now, and I could even begin to consider her as a friend. Any other night, I would have said no, and promised to take her up on her offer another time. But tonight? I was tired, and that meant I wanted something simple, and besides, it had been a long time since I had eaten out with a fellow woman.So, I said yes. And when we left the company together, I found myself being oddly excited.Joe, however, clearly did not share my enthusiasm.“Ma’am?” he called out to me when I told him about the fact that I wanted him to drive us to a restaurant, “Is this necessary?” he asked carefully,I looked over at him with raised brows.“It's just drinks, Joe.”He nodded, then kept silent as he drove us straight towards th

Sylas’ POV:It took a couple more minutes before I left the warehouse and by the time I got back to the estate, the sun was already beginning to set. I watched as the gates of my estate slowly closed behind my car. Usually, coming home after meetings meant I was going to take a couple of swings of alcohol and go to sleep.But tonight? I was pretty sure I would even be able to fall asleep if I wanted to. Because my mind was at high alert. I kept on replaying the meeting with the other bosses. I could still recall the twitch in Dominic’s eyes, or the sweat and fear I could practically smell of him.He either knew where Cassian was staying, or at the very least, he knew someone who did.The moment I stepped out of the car, one of my lieutenants approached me with a serious expression on his face.“Any update?” I asked, not even bothering to look at him.“Nothing much sir,” he replied, “We currently have two vehicles following Dominic already,”I nodded once while walking toward the entra
